To Other Planets (1959) Part 2

One of the fun things about collecting for me is that after collecting an item there is still more story to be found. In this case I found a poster starring the book I blogged about back in February. The poster is from a collection I found of Russian space posters from the 1950s and 1960s.

This facinating poster book was published as part of an art show of these posters and is full of some beautiful examples. I will share more some other post.
